Welcome to this week's Friday rubric! Hey that rhymes! The question is "What is the question"?! I know! I'll ask you what YOU would do! That also rhymes... Stay tuned in foooooooooooor: "What would YOU do?":

If someone you didn’t really like wanted to borrow some stuff, would you:

  • a) lie?
      • Say: “I don’t have it” -> left it at home.
      • Say: “I gave it to someone else.”
  • b) half-lie?

      • Say: “yes”, avoid the person for the rest of the day, leave it at home and the next day say you forgot it
      • Say: “yes”, but do nothing.
      • Say you need it to revise (which is true, although you’re not going to start revising until tomorrow/next week/next month).

  • c) tell the truth?

      • “I don’t like you.”
      • Say: “yes, but could you photocopy it?”
      • “I don’t want to.”
      • Ignore the question

Is it theft of you:
A person owes you money and you either see their bag standing somewhere or say you’ll look after it.
When they leave to go to the toilet or something you retrieve their purse and take out the money they owe you? 'Cos, what else do you do if they "refuse" to pay you back?! You could forget about it, but where's the fun in that?
All I can say is, that I must have forgotten to tell her about my 100% interest rate! EVERY second it goes up by 100%. I could make a special offer: every minute. Every hour is my lowest offer! No, I'm NOT talking about Claire, but the 20 Frs she owes me, must be around 200'000 Frs now. Gawd, I'd be rich by now! Let's see 20x24= 480 a day. She's owed it since last year, so 480 x 365= 175'200 Frs. Heh, I was nearly right! And if it were per second: 20x60x60x24= 1'728'000 Frs a day. So 1'728'000x365= 630'720'000 Frs! Wow, with an interest rate of 100% a second!!! Must tell her that.

Gawd, I dreamed of Claire... She's ubber annoying. What would you do if you saw her in the street?

  1. Cross the street?
  2. Say hello and walk on?
  3. Pretend you didn't see her?
  4. HIDE!!!
  5. Turn and walk in the opposite direction?
  6. Get that sniper to shoot her?
  7. RUN!!!
If you had no other option and she saw you and started talking. Would you:
  1. Walk on as though you hadn't heard her?
  2. Say hello and walk on?
  3. Ask for the money back, snatch her wallet out of her hands and withdraw it?
  4. Scream "THIEF!!!" and start chasing her?
  5. Ignore her?
If you walk on, but she doesn't take the hint and walks after you and talks to you anyway:
  1. Say: "Oh, I did NOT hear you!"?
  2. Walk on faster?
  3. Tell her to clear off?
  4. Say hello and walk on?
Since you don't know who Claire is, use an annoying, scrounging, Histrionic, Narcissistic, lying, shallow person of your choice instead.

Well to reply to the first qs i would never take money out of anybody's purse without telling them before or after. Cuz that is definitely stealing even if they do owe you money. If i saw (Claire or other annoyin peep) on the street and for some reason or another she/he followed me i would continue walking as if i didn't see that person and if they talk i'll talk back but not make eye contact and look really bored when they're speaking. And after 1 minute i'd say "SOrry meeting some1 and i'm late gotta run!" and run off. :D Nice plan eh?

I agree with lucie.. but I'd ask her if she has the money on her because I desperately need it and can't go home without it...
